LHC put some good advertising out for Precision Bikes on the roads Saturday during their 32 mile ride.

“We have Bernard, who is quite good at helping Mark on the climbing stages,”HTC director Ralf Aldag told VeloNews.“We know there will not be a sprint finish again until Paris, so the focus now is on getting Mark through the Alps. We hope to win one …”

Celebrating the Tour de France and their support of the BMC Racing Team, Easton Cycling has launched a contest letting fans use a custom iPhone app to “put themselves in the race.” Free from the iTunes Store, the app allows people take a picture and insert themselves into 21 iconic images of the world’ biggest race.

The contest takes off when people upload their photos to a special photo album on Easton’s Facebook page. At the end of the Tour, Easton will award a $500 shopping spree on Eastoncycling.com for the photo that best captures the spirit of the Tour de France. The winner may use the gift card at Easton’s online store.

Big thanks to all who turned out Tuesday night and we could have not done it without Tony, Jeni, Amanda and John who worked the TT. Congrats to Bo Deal who won the Cobb saddle from the drawing. Thanks to the guys who ran solo that night also. Next month will be the last TT due to school starting up again. The date is August 2nd.
